X-RAY RADIOLOGY REPORT
Facility: Jai Brahm Baba Digital X-Ray, Barh
Referring Physician: Dr. P.K. MBBS D. Ortho
Patient Name: Jayant Kumar Jyoti
Age: 34 Years
Examination: X-Ray Right Leg (Tibia & Fibula) - AP and Lateral Views
Date: July 20, 2026
CLINICAL INDICATION
Trauma / injury to right lower leg.
TECHNIQUE
Two-view radiograph of the right leg (Anteroposterior and Lateral projections). Film obtained using CR system. The film is displayed in a mirrored orientation but has been interpreted accordingly.
FINDINGS
Tibia:
There is a complete, acute fracture of the mid-to-proximal diaphysis (shaft) of the right tibia. The fracture line is transverse to slightly oblique in orientation. Minor comminution/splintering of the cortical edges is visible at the fracture site, best appreciated on the lateral view.
Alignment:
- Significant displacement is present - near-complete (approximately 100%) lateral translation of the distal tibial fragment relative to the proximal fragment on the AP view.
- Overriding of fracture fragments with estimated limb shortening of approximately 1.5 - 2.0 cm.
- Mild apex angulation noted on the lateral view.
Fibula:
The visualized portions of the right fibula appear intact. No acute fracture or dislocation of the fibula is identified on these views.
Joints:
The tibiotalar (ankle) joint appears grossly intact on the visualized portion. The proximal tibiofibular joint and knee are not fully included in this study.
Soft Tissues:
Moderate-to-severe localized soft tissue swelling is noted surrounding the fracture site at the mid-shaft of the lower leg. No subcutaneous emphysema or radio-opaque foreign bodies identified.
Implants/Hardware:
No orthopedic hardware, plates, screws, or intramedullary devices are present. This appears to be an acute/untreated fracture.
IMPRESSION
- Acute, complete, displaced, and shortened mid-diaphyseal fracture of the right tibia - transverse/slightly oblique pattern with near-complete translation and approximately 1.5-2.0 cm shortening.
- Right fibula intact on the views provided.
- Significant surrounding soft tissue swelling.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Urgent orthopedic consultation is strongly advised.
- This fracture pattern typically requires surgical stabilization - intramedullary nailing (IMN) is the preferred treatment for displaced mid-shaft tibial fractures of this type. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) may also be considered depending on intraoperative findings.
- Splinting and strict non-weight-bearing status until definitive treatment.
- Clinical vigilance for compartment syndrome (pain out of proportion, paresthesias, pallor, pulselessness) given the significant soft tissue swelling and displacement.
- Consider obtaining full-length tibia-fibula views including the knee joint for complete assessment.
